The device was created to infuse the age-old time piece with modern intelligence to help clocks compete in a digitized world. The product appears more as a [standing smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kompakt) than it does a traditional clock. Along with its aesthetically pleasing design, this clock can be customized to make life as convenient as possible. The highly personalized dashboard can track key metrics for its user including: real-time temperature updates, email notifications, stock hold updates, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepagotchi) messages and more, all within a compact, [touch button-controlled design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taoclock). Thanks to smart technology, products that only perform one service are being rendered obsolete. Designs like the LaMetric Smart Clock serve as an example of the extreme infusion of technology that is necessary for a product's longevity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Clock Integration:** Incorporate more smart features into clocks to stay relevant in a digitized world. - **Personalized Dashboard Devices:** Create devices with highly customized dashboards that can track key metrics for their users. - **Multi-functional Devices:** Design products with smart technology that perform multiple services, rendering single-service products obsolete. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can produce more smart clocks with highly customizable features. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can incorporate more tech-infused designs into traditional products like clocks. - **Smart Home:** Smart home companies can create smart clocks that integrate with other smart home devices to provide a seamless user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Personality Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alarm-oclock.md) - [Smart TV Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clock-o-clock.md) - [Anti-Smartphone Bedside Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudita-clocks.md) - [Minimal Assistive Multifunctional Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-house-alarm-clock.md) - [Desktop Display Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minitoo-retro-pc-style.md) - [Modernized Vintage-Inspired Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roberts-ortus-5.md) - [Connected Sunrise Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-smartsleep-connected-sleep-and-wakeup-light.md) - [Clapperboard-Inspired Desk Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-alarm-clock.md) - [Illuminating Smart Home Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-dot-with-clock.md)
